I love Daylight Savings Time… an extra hour of sleep is pretty important around our house (and I’m sure yours!)… These are some of the things we’ve done in the last 2 weeks… and why we were glad for that extra hour!
We got "lost" at the Green Canyon Farms Corn Maze…
We made “Trick-or-Treat” buckets…
We went to Saige’s school carnival…
Tayler, Our Spa Princess
Jadyn, our Funky Monkey!
Saige was a "50's girl"... someone asked her if she was from "Happy Days"... she had NEVER heard of it... she relates it better to the movie "Hairspray".
My mom was proud to say it was "her era", I wasn't very excited when Saige asked if I wore something like this to school... AND if I had a color TV when I was growing up! (but then I do keep getting those notices about turning 65 - in fact I got one for a retirement center... that said, "you ought to start thinking about this"!
Kenna our Beautiful Fairy 
us... well we're pumpkins of course!
…after the carnival we went to the 9 PM showing of High School Musical 3 "Senior Year" (with the Carlsen’s) – on the opening day. What a hoot! I have loved all of these shows, clean, cheesy, with random outbursts of singing at laughable times! Just the kind of show I want my girls watching… (although I will say that the girls in this particular movie definitely have a “different” dress code than my high school had!)
Tay still had her “mask” on from the carnival. People thought she had dressed up like Sharpay from the movie… so we got a lot of “FAB-U-LOUS”. (Jadyn ate her weight in popcorn!)
Our kids love High School Musical so much that we actually drove down to take a tour of East High with them last summer.
But truly we had to go on the opening day because… well… Shane and I did STAR in it!
(I can't figure out why I couldn't post it here... but if you go to the next post you will see it!)
This made me laugh until I cried… Shane didn’t think it was nearly as funny as I did, but I get goosebumps when he is singing to me… don’t you?
We made caramel apples...
We went to the “Pumpkin Walk”… we actually walked to the pumpkin walk on a gorgeous fall day with my mom… An activity we look forward to all year!
We had…. 12 dance lessons, 6 gymnastics lessons, 4 piano lessons, 2 dentist appointments, I finished 5 Super Saturdays and worked on 6 more, 2 parent teacher conf., helped at Kenna's Kindergarten Carnival, ran Saige's "class store", went for school lunch with Saige, had 2 activity days where Saige made this…
And Tayler made this purple fish for a Pumpkin Walk display…
We painted pumpkins for Grandma Falslev’s “Contest”…
We carved pumpkins…
We cleaned up the yard for winter and hauled 6 loads to "green waste"...
I made "dinner in a pumpkin… "
The girls made “Mummy dogs”…
The girls all had “crazy hair day” (on different days) at their schools… ( I forgot to take Tayler’s picture… in my defense she leaves for the bus @ 6:45 AM, I'm not really thinking about pictures then!)
We had an adult Progressive Dinner… Very fun, but lots of work for me as Activities Chairman…
We had a Primary Practice… and Sacrament Meeting Primary Program ( I am the pianist.) This meeting is the favorite of the year for me… The girls did great, here are their parts…
We went to an "Emergency Preparedness Meeting". Lots of information, most we had heard before but some good new stuff too. I am now officially a "germ-a-phob" not that I wasn't before this... (Right Andy and Jeff?) So this video she showed made me laugh... But not so much when after it was over Shane actually said, "So are they saying we should cough in our sleeve or we shouldn't" ????????? What do you think?
We went trick-or-treating and had a ward “Trunk-or-Treat”…
Went to dinner with our friends, then played games. (We also played LOTS of "Settlers" on the computer... now that Shane has a laptop we can play each other... we love it!)
We had “Family Pictures” taken… I'm sure I'll post when we get those back!
But Rachel offered to take pictures of us after church the week before…
The WHOLE family had flu shots… Now that is family fun at its best!! And then later that daywe lost Kenna... searched the neighborhood... started to panic... and found her asleep in her bed!

We carved pumpkins… We cleaned up the yard for winter and hauled 6 loads to "green waste"...We took down our trampoline… so no more of this for a while…
We had a picnic… on Nov. 1st… the day was absolutely perfect… I dare say I have NEVER had a picnic in November wearing short sleeves!

So that is two weeks of our life - thank heavens we had that extra hour! :) Obviously Kenna needed it too!

Wow! Supermom! You did it ALL! Way to go! I loved the photos. The jibjab didn't work--bummer I wanted to see it so badly.
